As Facebook continues to evolve as a platform, Meta One, a new subscription-based model for business pages, has been rolled out. As most churches with a Facebook presence operate business pages, you will begin to see the effects in the coming months. Though the program offers some benefits such as verification, impersonation protection, and customer support, it comes with limited link-sharing capabilities. Facebook business pages – such as church pages – will be limited to two external links per month. After that, pages will need to purchase a tiered membership to share more links. Links to internal offerings such as Facebook streams (Facebook Live church services, for example) will not be impacted by this program. Previously, our daily posts on WOC Facebook included clickable links to ministry resources.

In the near future, when we need to point you to a resource, we will direct you to visit the West Ohio website, or to a pinned post that features the current T.R.E.E.S. where you will find the relevant links you need. We will continue to make sure we provide you with the best resources we can through our Facebook channel.
